The transition from analogical to digital technology has revolutionized the forms and techniques of communication, by allowing the use of video content in a range of situation that would have been inconceivable until just a few years ago. Nowadays Digital Media is within the reach of anyone having a personal computer; furthermore, digital convergence has allowed video contents distribution on television, on computers and even on mobile telephones. Such a wealth of situations has stemmed the birth of new cultural phenomena, such as the proliferation of self –produced videos / audios and other creation shared over the Internet through social networks web sites. This has also enabled the creation of new forms of digital video distribution over IP networks and it has also caused important changes in the production processes and in the business models of TV operators, telecommunication companies, web portals and content providers.
The availability of digital contents, the large-scale adoption of IP protocol and the ever increasing availability of transmission bandwidth has also allowed, for instance, many information web portals, sometimes connected to important newspapers, to enrich their on-line news, featuring texts and images, with video news and with a wide video library accessible on demand by web users. Mobile telecommunication operators, following the introduction of UMTS technology and now of HSDPA, have had the chance to provide their users with video / audio contents, typically covering news and entertainment that have represented an important element to compensate the fall in revenues from only voice services. The recent introduction of DVB-H and DMB technologies has also allowed the mobile terminal to be used as a small television-set that faithfully follows its own user.
Likewise, fixed-line telecommunication operators are increasingly using the broadband network for the distribution of video contents. Furthermore, the new scenario not only gives consumers control of what and how they consume content, but also integrates community, participation and interactivity into the media experience. New digital advertising models are emerging on the many different channels, i.e. internet, mobile devices, video games, and on public displays.

Data Security
Comprehensive information security policy dictates the security standards and the security framework. Respective client environments hosted on separate VLANs impart the required segregation while using shared network resources
Workstations are also physically segregated per client and the building security system ensures only those individuals with the proper access levels are allowed into specific areas. In-house engineers manage and configure systems, including system definitions, rights management, access privileges and changes to network, systems & servers. Systems are locked down to prevent any end user system changes. System images are taken on networked servers and downloaded to workstations to ensure consistent installation. Incorporated within the security design is the use of various firewall technologies (filtering, authentication, transaction audit, etc.) as well as the proper provisioning of a DMZ design, which establishes trusted/ un-trusted boundaries.
